Riya is applying mulch to her garden. She applies it at a rate of 250,000 cm^3 of mulch for every m^2 of garden space.

Question

At what rate is Riya applying mulch in m^3/m^2?

Answer 1

To convert cm^3 to m^3, we need to divide by 1,000,000 (since 1 m^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3).

So, Riya is applying mulch at a rate of 250,000 cm^3 / 1,000,000 = 0.25 m^3 for every m^2 of garden space.

Therefore, Riya is applying mulch at a rate of 0.25 m^3/m^2.
